Overall Experience
Very accommodating. The staff is lovely and extremely friendly.

The manager is the kindest. She helped and accommodated my child's timing when I needed it the most, unlike the other childcare providers I have experienced. My daughter is extremely happy in this nursery and that's one of the best feelings as a parent knowing that your child is in good hands while you can work with peace of mind. Thanks again to the staff and the manager for their help.

Reply from Louise Horbury, Nursery Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Newton Heath

My daughter started here in January, really good settling in sessions, didn't rush her, called me when she was too upset, made an effort to interact and try and help her settle in. 2 weeks later and she absolutely loves it here.

Thank you for your lovely comments, so happy your daughter has settled in and she is happy and content.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves coming to nursery, she enjoys her nursery days everyday. She is learning more and more every time she attends. Staff are really good with her, and it is comforting to know she is happy being there. I always receive an update when I pick her up, on how my daughter has been throughout the day, what she has eaten how much etc. The nursery always has events on for the parents and children. Stay and plays with parents. Staff are always happy to help with any questions I might have. Staff are also encouraging with the toilet training which is a massive help. Overall a very good nursery and gives parents comfort in knowing their child is very well looked after.

Overall Experience

My son has attended Brighter Beginnings for over a year now and since starting he has progressed so much. He has become a very sociable and outgoing child and this is all down to the team. All the staff are knowledgeable and always happy to help with anything I ask. The nursery is always clean and set up nice for the children. There are lots of different events happening throughout the year like Halloween parties, stay and play and summer and Christmas fairs. The nursery is a great place for children to learn.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was 11 months old and remains at the breakfast/holiday club now in school. Fantastic care and support with learning. Only downside is the holiday/breakfast club does not align with local school holidays meaning lack of childcare for a few weeks which is not ideal with both parents working. Thank you for all the care!

Review from D F (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a brilliant nursery! You can tell the girls that work there really care about every single child! My little boy comes home really happy everytime he has been in. I really believe it has made him come on leaps and bounds since he started.
Not only do I think all the staff really care about every single child, I also believe they care about all of the parents too! They are constantly asking if we are okay and if there's anything they can do to help.
I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough.

The environment looks really clean and inviting !!

Review from Olivia R (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy has attended since he was 20 months, he started in the rainbow room and moved up to preschool a few months ago.
Our son absolutely loves this nursery! He has grown in confidence, made a lot of friends and is constantly learning through play. He's been on numerous trips and I've attended stay and plays which were great to join in with the activities. It's very safe in terms of access and staff who don't recognise you will get your child's keyworker before you enter.
All of the staff are amazing but I'd particularly mention the member of staff currently managing the nursery and our son's key worker. They do an amazing job and our little boy adores his key worker. They go to great lengths to adapt to each child's personality and interests and they spend a lot of time outdoors. Our son loves animals and dinosaurs and he's learning every day!

Another quick mention for two members of staff, in particular! They're wonderful and all the lovely ladies at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Newton Heath.

Review from Nicola T (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two children love attending Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Newton Heath. nurses always organise exciting activities for the children - my little one loves the fruit salad making, sandpit, water play and all of the other messy play ideas. He does a dance class in nursery which he really enjoys and has also been on trips to the park, farm and sea life centre. They have recently remodelled the outdoor area to include a mud kitchen, swing and other activities. They hold occasional parent stay-and-play sessions for important events and organise a summer/winter fair each year on a weekend with stalls and activities for the children. All round, an excellent nursery and after-school club.

Overall Experience

My twins have been attending Brighter Beginnings now for some time and I am more than satisfied with the nursery, they've shown a keen interest in the children and both love going to the nursery in the mornings. I hold the teachers and management in high regard and have nothing negative to say only positives in the way they have supported my sons and helped with their personal development needs.

Louise
Louise Job Title:Nursery ManagerJoined: 2023

Hello, my name is Louise and I have worked within the early years sector for over ten years and joined the Brighter Beginnings team in 2023. Over my decade of experience, I have worked my way up from an apprentice to becoming a nursery manager. I have gained an array of knowledge during my time as an early-year practitioner, beginning with a level 2 apprenticeship and more recently graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University completing a degree in Early Years and Childhood studies.

My passion for early years has been something that has driven me to ensure all children and families have a sense of belonging during their time in our setting and feel that they are listened to and understood. As a parent myself, I aim to give support to all families and hope to build strong partnerships with parents and carers. At Brighter Beginnings Newton Heath we love to arrange lots of different special events across the year which we open up to the whole community, some of our most recent events have been a Halloween event in our outdoor provision ‘Brighter Blossoms’, summer and Christmas fairs and stay and play sessions.

It’s a wonderful way to reach out to families and the wider community.

Imogen
Imogen Job Title:Deputy Manager and Room LeaderJoined: 2021

Hello, my name is Imogen, I joined Brighter Beginnings in 2021.

I began my career as an apprentice achieving a Distinction grade in my level 3 qualification.

Since then, I have been given the opportunity to be Newton Heath’s 16–24-month (Little Explorer’s) room leader.

As a room leader, I take pride in all of my work and I am determined to do whatever I put my mind to. I feel confident when leading my team and ensuring children’s and family’s needs are always met to a high standard. I ensure a high-quality provision is provided to the children in our care, and ensure the playroom is fun, inviting and welcoming to all!

I am always looking for new ways and activities to engage the children. I enjoy working together as a whole nursery to create a happy, engaging space for children to grow, develop and establish a positive sense of self.

Karen
Karen Job Title:Room LeaderJoined: 2016

Hello, my name is Karen and I have been with Brighter Beginnings for 8 years and have over 30 years experience working with children and families.

I am level 3 qualified in early years and also hold level 2 and 3 in play work.

As a room leader, my aims are to provide a safe, secure and caring environment for our babies and children, where they can thrive and develop in their own unique way. I enjoy working alongside the big staff team here at Newton Heath as there is a wide range of qualifications and years of experience amongst our team members. I feel that we all contribute and collaborate with one another to further develop our own knowledge to provide outstanding care for children and families.

Paige
Paige Job Title:Room LeaderJoined: 2018

Hello, my name is Paige and I am a level 3 qualified nursery practitioner. I completed my qualification as an early years practitioner in college 12 years ago. I have worked at Brighter Beginnings for over 6 years, progressing to becoming a room leader in 2022.

I love working with children and families and giving them new and exciting experiences to promote their growth and development.

As a mum to two young boys myself, I understand how parents may feel when introducing their little ones to nursery life, but with the support of the whole team, we believe we create a smooth transition for both parents and the children.

Ellie
Ellie Job Title:Room LeaderJoined: 2020

Hi, my name is Ellie and I’m one of the room leaders in our Adventures room. I have been a part of the Brighter Beginnings team since 2020.

I’m currently enrolling on a Level 5 Qualification which I’m really excited to begin and feel will help me progress in my leadership position. I pride myself on sharing my knowledge with the whole team to ensure high standards are maintained throughout everything that we do here at Newton Heath.

I love working in the early years and being able to provide the children with great awe and wonder opportunities and new experiences. I enjoy supporting and encouraging children to reach development milestones, and feel a sense of accomplishment myself when children achieve!
